Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the selection process for LPG distributorship by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. was flawed due to the rejection of the appellant's experience certificates without proper evaluation. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the guidelines for selection and the importance of fair assessment in public sector appointments. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that quashed the appellant's distributorship, and directed the Corporation to reassess the selection process in accordance with the law.
